Steam is taking forever to connect to!

I can't log in. Played for half an hour, now wanted to play more and it's not possible.

Whoever had the idea of logging onto Steam to play a SP game needs to get fired for real
 
I bought my game and won't even get to play it for five minutes today, hell i haven't even got to see if it actually plays yet, i can't even look at the splash screen because of ****iing steam, I agree, whoever had the genius ****ing idea to connect to steam to play a single player game needs to be fired.
 
You guys too? At least im not the only one. Im assuming its because of the rush of kids getting out of school that gives this effect
 
Hello Guys,

You really need to help me, I finally made it through the installation of HL2(FINALLY). It took a long time time to update the maps to my system. Now that i'm finally ready i'm getting a message that there is something wrong it says: 'Unable to authenticate original disc within time limit'. As you guys can all understand i'm really pissed. I finally madeit through the installation and now i'm into this nonsense.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks in advance
 
And just to rub it in, 80,000 people are playing CS1.6 right now. Luckily I got to play for a few hours this morning.
 
For F#%$K's SAKE! I took off from work earlier today. Played sick and now I can't even play?!?!?

AAAAARRRRRGGGHHH! $100 for the game. Over $100 in lost wages. Sitting inmy computer room with Cookies and coke all ready to play and all for naught.
AAAAARRRRRGH!
 
Apparantly the Steam servers are to busy to process CD Keys but it will let ou play in the meantime. (according to Steam Error msg.)
 
Please guys HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hate this, help me out of this mess.
 
keep trying. It may work on one attempt.

Grrrr now I'm stuck on "unlocking game files."

I hate Steam.It sounds good in theory, but then again so does Communism. :angry:
 
yeah i have just spoken to a friend and he had the same thing, he restartted HL2 for about 30 times and than finally it started, but thanks for the advice anyway
